I don't know when, but in many racial surveys that I have completed "hispanic" is listed as one of the options.

Honestly curious, what countries do you consider the most diverse based on your criteria?

I thought they were usually listed separately, such as there was a separate indicator for non-white Hispanic and whatnot.

Honestly, I have no idea. According to the interwebs, India has more languages and distinct groups than anyone (it helps that they're a former trade colony with over a billion people) but I have the natural inclination to show my Western bias by claiming (an uneducated assumption) that those thousands of cultures can't be thaaaaaat distinct from one another. With only 6 million people Papua New Guinea apparently has over 850 indigenous languages.

Obviously many cities in the U.S. are incredibly diverse, especially along the coasts, but I just find it ironic that the word "melting pot" is somehow used as a symbol of diversity. That term was taken from a very old source that described America as a place where different cultures were "tolerated", but only because they all blend together into this one homogeneous blob of united interests and respect. Here in Canada we use the "melting pot" metaphor as an example of what we do not want to do... It's just not our interpretation of what diversity really is. The word you'll hear our politicians throw around is "mosaic" (unique parts, but together). It's all just propaganda anyways.

You dont watch the news do you.

The BNP leader, Nick Griffin, is on Question Time on Thursday.

There is a huge debate on whether a political party which is pretty much Nazi to sum it up in a word which got over a million votes and has 2 MEPs and a whole load of councillors and whether its right to debate someone on TV with such views.

The UK, like lots of Europe, is very racist and prejudice. Go read the Daily Fail, its most recent controversy was a homophobic attack on Gately after he died, then there is the constant stream of anti immigrant stuff which feeds racist groups like the BNP.

In summation most people are idiots and racists and thats pretty universal. UK is worse than the US and its not even close, whats worst is we arent addressing it head on so its an accepted "behind closed doors" thing for most people and largely racism is allowed to exist because the average idiot doesnt understand the facts (such as how immigration is universally a positive thing).

(btw, for the record, it is correct to debate Nick Griffin on live TV because it will be hilarious how badly he performs as the others on the panel run circles around him with logic and facts)

white guys need something else to say to try to convince people that they arent racist. "i have black friends" is trite and ineffective now.

Melting pot > mosaic, IMO.

nothing like the canadian talking **** about other countries not being diverse.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogra...ble_minorities

16% minorities ftl.

I dunno, I can only speak from experience in California. I had piles of black friends and there were white girls in our school known to like black guys and the black guys just ate that **** up and never really got much ****, but those white girls got hated on hardcore by other white people.


To be fair, I don't think any of these guys were ever actually "with" the white girls, just screwing them.

I wasn't talking **** about countries, I was talking **** about people making stupid claims. I also forgot the part where "diversity" meant "visible minority". By that logic India isn't diverse at all because most people are brown.

to make a broad judgment-- i don't think white people discourage interracial dating anymore than blacks, or asians, or any other race/ethnicity. it's just that most of the time people aren't bold enough to tell someone of another race that they shouldn't date interracially. i would guess that they got a fair amount of **** from other black people. i had a "gf" in elementary school who was white and one of my black friends was basically like "you like her? she's white" and i was like "yeah, so?" and then we kind of argued and then went and played or something. mom wasn't too crazy about it either

During the OJ trial the defence believed that black women would side with OJ more than a white person because his wife was white.

This is generally accepted to be true now, jury selection then was much less of a science as it is now, but yeah interracial couples definitely get racist prejudice from both side, probably more from black people than white people.

Just ban same race relationships. It means racists will die out in one generation and Indian women are hoooot.

College-aged Indian girls are atypical. There's almost an upside-down bellcurve, where they'll either be super hot or uggo. On the other hand, Indian women are 99.9% terrible. They age worse than any women on the planet. I've literally never seen an Indian MILF.

He said he tried, he didn't say he always succeeded.

This guy finally resigned:

You are one ignorant uneducated turd. That chant has nothing to do with zeig heil, it translates to "for homeland, ready" and it is over 500 years old.(search Nikola Stublic Zrinski) Where do you people come up with this nonsense? You most be some journo or something.

A simple google of "Aishwarya Rai" or "Priya Rai" might enlighten you. however i conceed that these women likely fall into the .1%
